Well at the weekend I went to get the S out after a few weeks on inaction - and it wouldn't budge, and brakes had bound (Fortunately not clutch)......

Managed after some not so gentle persuasion to get it all moving again, but my question is, what component in the brakes is most likely to bind/seize, so I can pay special attention to it should the S not be used for a few weeks?

I have learnt the lesson of not leaving the handbrake on, put it that way!

Dirty brake Pistons is my bet, you might need some new seals although removing the pads, working them in and out a bit then putting a bit of copper grease over the back of the pads and Pistons will probably work.

When do you want to sort out your T shirt btw are you over this way soon. Drop us an email when you know.

Cheers Greg

I found having it jacked up and held with the wheels just off the ground then every so often start it up and go up through a couple of gears and then brake. Hand spin the fronts wheel and use the brakes.
